Sorry for my less than stellar explanations...

I'll try again.I currently have my 'Keys(Upper Row)' and 'Keys(Lower 
Row)' mapped to toggle on/off 'Track Activator' and 'cue' buttons in 
live.
My Mode is set to 'Toggle on'for these buttons, 'Upper Row' value 1 is 
set at 127, value 2 is set at 60.This setting allows me to toggle these 
functions on and off, no feedback directly from the host when pressing 
a button on screen but say if I have a disabled 'tack activator' button 
on screen and the LED is lit on a BCF2000 button, the BCF2000 makes me 
press twice to "resync" the BCF led showing the 'tack activator' on so 
in effect feedback is working and toggle button off/on is working.

When I send  snapshot from the BCF2000, only buttons with illuminated 
LED are sent as a value (Value 1 = 127).Buttons that are "off" send no 
value, so an off button (Value 2 = 60) is not being sent with the 
snapshot.
I can see that "off" does send a value of 60 from the BCF when I record 
my button presses into a midi track, just not during snapshot send.
I did play with the Default value setting with no difference and I am a 
bit confused by the values range of 0-16383 (RTFM?)

So perhaps this is a slight glich in the Behringer programming that 
cannot be resolved by BCMan editable parameters?
